Hmm not sure will have to check the code for that but in case it works it should be the with the following syntax //Submissions/Category[name=[$formfield]]
A quick "outside" observation: Using square-brackets as part of the replacement could potentially be a problem, since the XPath itself will be invalid...
Any specific reason for having to use them like that?
hehe - I'm totally aware of that, didn't mean to sound as if I didn't get it :)
It's just that in other places where XPath is used (e.g. the MNTP) they're just "magic variables" – here, you also need to wrap them in square brackets, which has their own meaning in XPath - so can be potentially confusing if you've started to get familiar with XPath for some of the places it can be used...
Really, I was probably more concerned about the consistency-issue than the XPath-issue here.
Save to input specific node using xpath in contour
Is it possible to make an xpath to save a new document in a node relative to one of the form fields?
Like //Submissions/Category[name=$formfield]

so[$formfield] will be replaced

@Chriztian, well the replacement will happen on the string before it is used as an xpath statement

Currently it won't work but it's an easy update if you are up for upgrading to a nightly?

Just made the changes, you can upgrade to 3.0.29 WIP build that available here http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/3.0/UmbracoForms.files.3.0.29.WIP-Build.50.zip
Thanks, I will look into that!

So did that do the trick?
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to upgrade yet.
